CyCognito EASM Platform is a commercial external attack surface management solution by CyCognito. Traceable API Security is a commercial API security solution by Harness. Features, integrations, deployment and the company behind each one, side by side.
What our shortlists say about each one.
Best for: Teams wanting discovery plus active testing
It earns a place because discovery and active testing come in one product, so findings arrive already checked and not as a raw asset list. That suits mid-market and enterprise teams that want proof before they assign work. Testing live assets needs their owners on board, so settle scan cadence and scope before you turn it on.

Best for: AppSec teams covering APIs from code to runtime
Traceable belongs here if you want API testing in development and runtime protection from one vendor, with the activity data kept for later hunts. It runs in the cloud and is built for microservice and container estates. Since Harness now owns it, ask how the product will develop under its new owner before you sign a long contract.
